I realized that I am running out of subjects to photograph at home, and that I am getting way to lazy to go somewhere once I get back home from the office.  This piece of genius came to me while I was stuck in the traffic jam.  So I thought why not to use the time productively?  Why not to take the camera out and photograph things around me?<\/p>\n<p>Well, aparently, it was a good idea.  It was not only because I was able to provide a picture for the &#8216;Picture of the day&#8217; project, but because I realized once again how relative all things are.  While I was stuck in the traffic jam I though that my car is standing on the same place for long mutliple minutes.  But as soon as I got my camera out of the bag, cars started moving around and I suddenly had to drive somewhere.  Also, I thought that things that I drive by many times a day are boring and uninteresting.  Suddenly, at the moment I have my camera with me and no way to get out of there, I see that there are plenty of interesting things around me.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, only <a href=\"\/photos\/POTD\/2004\/10\/04\">one shot<\/a> came out OK.  Everything else was blurry due to the motion of my car and due to the vibration from the engine which I caught while using the door and the steering wheel instead of tripod.  I&#8217;ll learn from this and reshoot the subjects in the next traffic jam with engine switched off (uh-oh) and faster ISO setting.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I realized something today.
